B.S. Appleton
and Miss Alice Lorg were married at the Baptist Church at Eddy Sunday
night by Rev. W.W. Dornian. One hundred and fifty invitations were issued
and there was a large party in attendance. Many handsome presents were
received. There is little doubt now but what Nardin will have a cotton
gin next year. Over one hundred acres so far have been pledged with no
effort to speak of to canvass the township. The 400 acres asked for will
signed before it is time to begin planting and then the men to build the
gin will be also be forthcoming. We have heard of several little patches
of cotton being raised within 10 to 13 miles of Nardin, but from the fact
that the cotton had to be hauled to Perry to market it, the small patches
have been only experiments, but they have been successful enough to show
the people that cotton can be made a paying crop in this locality.[Application date December 22, 1905 Book 5 Page 433]

TWENTIETH CENTURY WEDDING
Married, January 8th, 1901, in the parlors of the St. James Hotel, at

Lamont, O. T. This match was quite a romantic affair. Mr. Shaw is the
book keeper for the Oklahoma Construction Co. The brides paternal sire
is working on the grade and Miss Davis was working in the commissary.
Mr. Shaw soon learned to love her, and the affection was reciprocated.
But there was still an obstacle to be overcome; for Mr. Davis, who had
evidently forgotten the days of his own youth declared that he would shoot
the first man who came to ask him for his daughter. In order to avoid
the threatened catastrophe. Mr. Shaw decided to marry the girl first and
ask her fathers consent afterward so he secured a team and the couple
started for Ponca City at 6 o'clock in the evening, arriving there about
two o'clock at night. From here they took the train for Winfield, where
they were married, returning to Lamont the next day, and we suppose, secured
the usual parental forgiveness. Mr. Shaw is well known and has many friends
